Still, as close enough as makes no difference
makes alot of diffrence if your filling up a 62 litre tank i started driving 2 years ago i could fill up a 62 litre tank for £44 (was around 79.9p per litre) since then the same tank costs me £73.50 roughly (£110.9 per litre) see the diffrence?

I have a 2.0litre rover 600 does around 42MPG on a run at 58mph all the way, most american cars are 3.6 to 4.6 V6's and V8'S doing around 26MPG.

My friends for mustang 4.6GT automatic does 21MPG.

If you had a economical engine or even a diesel car you would save a heck of alot, the same rover 600 in diesel does around 51MPG it costs more to fill up but you get alot more miles over a longer run per gallon.

Im planning on buying a 2.0litre 130BHP 6 speed manual TDCI modeo (diesel) according to the fact sheet it averages 55MPG at 65MPH so at 56MPH maybe push for 60MPG in 6th gear).

Tax is cheaper on diesels so is the insurance only thing that stings us is the pump price (most are 116.9 per litre highest ive seen is 128.9 per litre).

Best of all its cheap as chips to run especialy on bio fuel.
